A woman was hospitalised following a head-on crash near the entrance to Plymouth’s Asda store yesterday afternoon.

Two fire appliances – one from Greenbank and one from Crownhill – attended the incident on Novorossiysk Road at around 2pm yesterday, where they found a lady trapped inside.

Firefighters used small tools to help get the lady out of the vehicle and she was subsequently taken to Derriford Hospital for precautionary tests after sustaining neck and back pain.
